To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, HENRY A. FRAMBACH, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of after described and thenpointed claims.

Kaukauna, in the county of Outagam'ie and State of YVisconsin, haveinvented an Improved Machine for Applying Gum or Glue to the Surface ofa Web of Paper, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to machinery for ap-.

plying gum'or glue to the surface of a web of paper, and relatesparticularly to machinery for so applying gum or glue to a web of paperwhich is designed and intended to be cut into tie-bands for useinlaundries for securing shirts in folded position.

H eretofore the general practice has been to apply gum or glue totie-bands by hand after the web of paper has been cut or severed intobands, it having been found practically impossible to apply gum or gluethereto by machinery while united in a web, owing principally to thediificulty of distributing such gum or glue evenly upon the surface ofsaid web, a thick strip of gum or glue forming across the web where thegumming or gluing device leaves'said web. Owing also to the consist,

ency of said gum or glue, it stretchesout in the form of strings, whichare apt to adhere.

to the surface of the paper outside of the portions thereof which it isdesired to gum or glue in an undesirable and objectionable manner.

The object of myinvention is to provide improved means to apply gum orglue evenly to desired portions of the surface of aweb of paper oflimited areas, which said gummed or glued portions of said web of papershall be separated from each other by unguinmed spaces of uniformlength.

A mach ine embodying my invention consists of the various features,combinations of features, and details of constructionhereinout in the Inthe accompanying drawings a machine embodying my invention vis fullyillustrated.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2is a vertical longitudinal sectionalview thereof. liig. 3 is atransverse sectional view thereof, on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, lookinginthe direction indicated by the arrows; and Fig. 4 is a plan view of aweb of paperto which gum or glue has been applied-by means of myimproved machine, the 'gummed areas being indicated by the shadedportions thereof and the method of severing the saine to form individualbands being indicated by dotted lines.

As shown in the drawings, the operative parts of my improved machine aresupported in a frame which consists-of lateral frame-sections A, securedtogether by transverse frame members A. 7 Revolubly mounted in suitablebearings formed in the lateral sections A of the machine-frame is arollB, the under side of which runs in a gum or glue fount B, the bottom I)of which is hollow, and-the interior of said hollow bottom beingconnected with a suitable source of steam-supply by a pipe 22, throughwhich steam is admitted thereto. The steam so admittedsto the hollowbottom 12 of said gum or glue fount will operate to maintain the gum orglue therein in a liquid state and likewise affords convenient means forregulating the consistency thereof.

Secured to a shaft 19 revolubl y mountedin suitable bearings in themachine-frame above the roll B, is a segment of a cylinder E thecircumferential dimension of which is equal to the desired width'of thegummed or glued .areas on the web of paper.

The shaft 12 is so located relatively to the roll B that as said shaftrotates the perimeter of the cylindrical segment 13 will come intocontact with the perimeter of said roll B.

Positive rotary movement in the directions indicated by the arrows isimparted to said roll B and to the shaft Z1 by suitable means.

Asshown, the roll B is driven from anysuitable source of power (notshown) by means of a belt applied to adriving-pulley B rigidly securedto the shaft of said roll, and the shaft 17 1s driven from the shaft ofthe roll 13 by means of spur-gears b b", secured to the shaft of theroll B and to the shaft respectively, the sizes of said gears being suchthat the segmental cylinder 13 will be driven at the same surface speedas the roll ll. Preferably, also, the roll 13 is driven through themedium of a clutch, which affords convenient means for starting andstopping the same.

Revolubly mounted in suitable bearings eter of said roll B.

Positive rotary movinent in the direction indicated by the arrow'is.imparted to the roll provided with sleeves Z1 at B by means of a spurgear 11 secured to the shaft. thereof, which mesh s-withthegeanb? onthe'shaft b the size-thereof being such that said roll Btwill be drivenat the same surface speed as said segmental cylinder B Supported abovethe segmental cy-linderB in such manner" as to be bodily movable towardand from the same is a scraper or doctor B .As shown, said scraper ordoctor is which are fitted to studs 12 rigidly secured in themachine-frame. Threaded to-the studs b are nuts 6 between which and thetops of the sleeves bare inserted coiled springs 19?, which I operate inan obvious manner to hold the scraper or doctor B normally yieldinglyadvanced, in which position the lower edge of said scraper or. doctorextends below the surface of said segmental cylinder B proved machinealso comprises means to raise said scraper or doctor intermittently toallow 'lar cams B scraper or doctor 13 'will be said segmental cylinderto pass under it and to release said scraper or doctor-just before saidsegmental cylinder passes from beneathit, allowing said-scraper ordoctor to'des'eend into contact with the surface of said segmentalcylinder at a point adjacent to its rear edge, thus severing any stringsof gum or glue which may have vformed between said segmental cylinderand the roll B and scraping any superfluous gum .or glue from the rearedge'of said segmental cylinder. said means are as follows: Secured tothe shaft b adjacent to its opposite ends are simiupon which the scraperor doctor B is normally supported. -Said cams-B are of such size andshape and are secured to the shaft 1) in such position that as saidshaft 12 rotates they will raise said scraper or doctor above and out ofthe path of travel of the segmental cylinder B, allowing said segmentalcylinder to pass fl'eely beneath the same. Said cams are also cutaway,substantially as shown at 11 in such manner that said will hesuddenly released just before said segmental cylinder B passes frombeneath it, thus allowing said scraper or doctor to descend under theinfluence of the springs b into contact with the surface of saidsegmental cylinder adjacent to its rear edge in the desired-manner.

The lower edge of the scraper or doctor is preferably beveled or a bluntchisel edge about one eighth of an inch thick. I find in practiceithat ascraper or doctor of this shape is best adapted to perform the desiredfunction thereof.

The gum or glue is applied to the web of paper by the segmental cylinder3, which of such size that the periphery of the its opposite ends,

its front side, leaving supply'in substantially the same manner thatsteam is admitted to the drier-rolls of a paper-making machine, whichwill be clearly understood by persons familiar with such machinerywithout a detailed description thereof. Rotary movement in the directionindi cated by the arrow is imparted to the drier C by means of achain-belt G, applied to sprocketj wheels 0 C secured to the shaft ofthe roll and to one of the trunnions of the driercylinder 0,respectively, the relative sizes of said sproeketwheels being suchthatthe surface speed of said drying-cylinder C will be the same as that ofthe other positively-driven drums and rolls over which the web of paperpasses.

i to from a roll D, supported in suitable bracketbearings formed on themachine-frame, Said 1 roll is preferably provided with a suitablefriction-brake to retard its rotation and mainlovsuand is connected.with .a sourcehofsteam-r Paper to feed the machine is suppliedtheretaintheweb ofpapertantas itis drawn theref from in afamiliarmanner.

In the drawings, D, designates the web of paper in which the machine isoperating.

Fig. 4 of the drawings represents a portion of a web of. paper af erpassing through my j improved machine, the darkened or shaded portions01 indicating those parts to which the gum or glue has been applied.Separate bands gummed or glued at one end only are formed by slittingthe web D on longitudinal lines d and severing it on transverse lines dThe operation of my improved gumming or gluing machine is as follows:The web of paper D is delivered from the roll of paper D aroundguiderolls d into contact with the surface of the roll 13*, so that thesegmental cylinder B will come into contact therewith as th'e shaft Z1rotates. Fromthe roll B the Web D passes around the drying-cylinder C,whencei-t is conducted over guide-rollers (l to asuitable reel. (Notshown.)
